Hinamatsuri

about

The song "Hinamatsuri" wonderfully combines Japanese themes with Russian humor. She tells a story about a girl who loves a samurai inseparably. Describing her feelings, she compares herself to a Hinamatsuri doll that is in the hands of a samurai.

Although the song has an oriental sound, it is imbued with humor and unexpected twists. The melody, written in Russia, surprisingly conveys the Japanese atmosphere, but with some comic notes. Nevertheless, it remains original and attracts the attention of the listener.

If we turn to the lyrics of the song, we could assume that it would have a sad and melancholic melody, in the spirit of the story about the princess not laughing. However, the song is completely different - it is full of fun and rhythm. The accordion that sounds in the music adds some charm and gives it an additional zest.

lyrics

City, tears and the rain,
And you don’t wait for me.
And only heartless doll for you
I’ll stay and always be.

Only for you
Doll’s heart is beating.
I was forgotten and
Easily defeated!

Hinamatsuri, hinamatsuri,
You are the sun and storm in my life.
You are just doll, Hinamatsuri,
Only for fun, without a heart.

It hurts so much without you,
I feel without you blue!
So, tell how long you’ll play with me.
I’m begging for the clue.

Silky kimono
Doesn’t please my heart.
Sakura flowers dying,
If we are apart.

For you I'm only doll
With my soul still alive.
And soon you’ll realize —
That I can also thrive.

Hinamatsuri, hinamatsuri,
You are the sun and storm in my life.
You are just doll, Hinamatsuri,
Only for fun, without a heart.

It hurts so much without you,
I feel without you blue!
So, tell how long you’ll play with me.
I’m begging for the clue.

Your doll is crying in the rain
But you won’t see the tears.
I only dream to stay inside
Your heart which truly cares.

Just know, my dear Samurai -
Your doll’s heart beats for you.
It’s not the parting, not good bye…
We‘ll cope with all this through

Hinamatsuri, hinamatsuri,
You are the sun and storm in my life.
You are just doll, Hinamatsuri,
Only for fun, without a heart.

I am not a doll for you,
That heartless, plastic doll.
I am not a doll for you
And I have also soul.
No...
